The Covent Garden Festival... Something to Really Sing About!
Bringing a variety of vocal superstars to London's centre, the 2001 Covent Garden Festival is just around the corner. So it is time to begin planning how you will fit it all in, because nothing in this phenomenal line up should be missed! Recognised as one of London's leading art festivals, it promises to provide a unique celebration of the diversity of the singing voice.
Many venues are opening up especially for the festival. Don't miss your chance to see Trial by Jury in the Royal Courts of Justice, HMS Pinafore on board HMS PRESIDENT (1918), and even a Handel opera in a night club, Heaven. Traditional venues will also be helping to bring talent to you in the form of 'Sadlers Wells in the West End' in the Peacock Theatre, and the Linbury Studio Theatre in the Royal Opera House.
International talent is a plenty in this years festival. All the way from Canada is Mary Lou Fallis, from the land down under, Australia, is Judy Glen, as well as one of America's top choral groups Lionheart.
Other coming attractions which are unbeatable are A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Regina Monologues, The Great Gershwin!, Alexander's Feast, Carmen, and The Gondoliers. Various must-see up and comings including singer Elizabeth Atherton, director Netia Jones and designer Partenope.
Beginning on 12 May, cramming over a hundred performances in, and ending just three weeks later on 2 June you really must book now so as not to miss this rare opportunity to be spoiled by such a multitude of talent.
